Description Ken Keslar 2002-10-15 23:25:33 UTC

I'm working on a paper that looks at the history of the operating system, and
was looking at Gentoo Linux, but was unable to find any information. 
Information that I feel would be good to have on this site is the first release
date, dates of major releases, key players, and posssibly some more general
history related things (like when portage versions were changed, gcc version
changed, etc.

in fact, this information is available at IBM's developerWorks site, in a series
of articles that Daniel Robbins wrote called "Making the Distribution."
